Several items in Elden Ring are Easter eggs that refer to FromSoftware’s previous titles. The Sun Realm Shield has intriguing and mysterious ties to an important city in Dark Souls lore, but the drop rate for this shield is incredibly low, so it’s easy for most players to miss. An armor piece called Raptor’s Black Feathers resembles a notable Bloodborne character whose quest line parallels that of a summonable Elden Ring NPC . Scavenger hunt-style puzzles across The Lands Between involve paintings, which also bring to mind one of the most intriguing lore aspects of the Dark Souls franch
If players do choose to “be held” by Fia, however, it also results in a 5% decrease in max HP for players, as long as they have Baldachin’s Blessing enabled. But anti_ideophobia didn’t notice the initial loss, and so went the entire game without disabling this option, which they would have otherwise d
When Radagon and the Elden Beast are defeated, Marika’s body reappears more broken than before. From here, the player may choose their desired ending, most of which require placing Marika’s head back on her body. That’s the extent to which the player “interacts” with Queen Marika. It can be argued that her role is significant enough, and any more screen time may diminish her role in the story. However, she leaves plenty of unresolved plot threads, such as her potential connection to the Eternal Cities and Ranni, the Witch . Plus, Marika could prove to be an exciting boss bat
For whatever reason, the early aughts animated film Shrek has become a big meme, and putting the green ogre in strange new situations is a running joke across the internet these days. Elden Ring wasn’t immune to this phenomenon and this mod puts the ogre over the enemy Fire Prel
Fia’s quest line brings the Tarnished face to face with Godwyn’s corpse. At one point in the quest, the Tarnished enters Fia, the Deathbed Companion’s Dream , and fights the Lichdragon Fortissax in an arena in front of the Prince of Death. The concept of entering dreams opens the possibility of meeting Godwyn in his younger state. It could also be possible to encounter the real Godwyn, the Golden, by traveling back in time, something the player does when they fight the Dragonlord Placidu
**Elden Ring ** ’s Putrid Crytalian Trio within Sellia Hideaway is another annoying boss encounter. Crystalians are common enemies and bosses in the game, and they can be especially problematic for players without weapons to deal blunt damage. However, the Putrid Crystalian Trio are the most annoying Crystalians in the game. There is a Staff, Spear, and Ringblade Crystalian who all deal Scarlet Rot when they attack the player. In theory, players should defeat the Staff Crystalian first, but that is a challenge when the Spear and Ringblade Crystalians are chasing the player. Spirit Ashes may help, but they should inflict blunt dam
The Raptor’s Black Feathers armor in Elden Ring nods to a beloved Bloodborne character, Eileen the Crow. It features a cape crafted with bird feathers, intended to imitate the Elden Ring ‘s Deathbirds, and is worn by an assassin called Ravenmount. Eileen’s armor has much in common with this set, being adorned with a cape made from crow feathers, similarly invoking worship of birds as figures of de
Horseback riding is a pretty important aspect of Elden Ring , with players able to unlock the steed, caligo Nightreign Torrent, after finding three Sites of Grace. But horses are also integral to many of the game’s bosses, and after vanquishing one of those bosses, terrible_hero found themselves in a scene right out of a com
One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of Elden Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring ‘s Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same unive
The army of mimics mod was popularized through YouTube and specifically from a video called ” Elden Ring Zerg Rush ” which saw the player multiply and absolutely destroy bosses. What made it even funnier was that they were completely na
As it happens, there’s an absolute treasure trove of hilarious in-game moments captured by Redditors and many could justifiably be called the best of the subreddit, but these ten certainly have earned their spots among the funni
Commander Niall is a difficult boss, but what makes him annoying is the two ghostly Banished Knights that he summons at the beginning of the fight. Winning the fight depends on how well a player can manage the two knights along with Niall himself. The knight with the dual swords is aggressive and should be taken care of first. But if a player defeats both knights, Niall will become aggressive. It is an annoying fight that may make players decide the Consecrated Snowfield is not worth
